How court fees work: Under the Court Fees Act 1870 and the applicable state Court Fees Acts, the civil court fee is an ad-valorem percentage of the claim value. The rate varies by state - the most common rate across Indian states is 2% of the claim value for a civil suit. Legal aid beneficiaries, women filing for maintenance, and certain other categories may be exempt or pay a reduced fee. The "other charges" (certification, PVR, service fee) are typically around 1% of the claim value.
